Thomas Edgar Jacques (13 November 1890 – 1968) was an English professional football player who played as a half-back. He started his career in non-League football with Accrington Stanley and Darwen, before moving into the professional game with Blackburn Rovers in March 1912. Jacques made two League appearances for Blackburn but left the club in 1915 to join the British Army. He served in the First World War, during which he was captured and taken as a prisoner of war.

Upon the conclusion of the conflict, he joined Nelson in July 1919. Two seasons later, the club was accepted into the Football League and Jacques played 17 matches in the Third Division North. He scored the only goal of his League career in the 4–1 win against Wigan Borough on 3 September 1921. Jacques lost his place in the side following the arrival of James Price and he left Nelson in 1922. He subsequently returned to non-League football, where he had spells with Great Harwood, Barnoldswick Park Villa and finally Earby.
